- How many times can you mention hydrangeas challenge (taken too seriously)
- Insects!!! So. Many. Insects!! Don't read unless you love insects!
- Seriously, if I took a shot every time hydrangeas were mentioned, I would be drunk already.
- The writing is so bad and clunky. Why is it trying to be poetic one second and then has this gen z girl saying "what the shit" whatever happened to balance bro
- Do you know this story has hydrangeas in it? I didn't even after the fuckteenth time it was mentioned.
- The fucking hydrangeas

This sort of took a while to become horror and then really derailed towards the end. some parts were pretty hard to understand around 80% -end of the book. Maybe it was to show that Jade was fading in and out of consciousness or show the weird limbo between the ghost’s world and real world but i felt like that could’ve been better Also towards the ending of the book with the big final scenes, the pacing was a bit off and the extra usage of Vietnamese w no explanation really confused me. There were some parts i did enjoy so i didn’t think this deserved lower than 2 stars.

I’d still want to read some of the authors other works since this was an okay debut
